Library
Workstations

The University

resources and services that meet the educational, instructional, and
research needs of the university community. To meet those needs, the
library provides internet workstations for the purpose of accessing information
resources in electronic format. The Library Internet

structure and should be interpreted in conjunction with other existing policies
and procedures. This policy refers to internet workstations in public
(non-staff) areas.
